Exploration of a Training Model for Laboratory Personnel Based on ISO 15189.

Abstract

Background: This study aimed to explore the implementation of an effective training and competency assessment model for laboratory personnel in compliance with ISO 15189 standards, thereby enhancing laboratory testing capabilities and providing a reference for personnel training in other hospital laboratories.

Methods: A comprehensive training program was developed based on ISO 15189 requirements and the practical experience of our department. The program included determining training schedules and frequencies, defining training content, conducting training sessions, evaluating training outcomes, and performing assessments and competency evaluations.

Results: Through the implementation of the proposed training program, we successfully met ISO 15189 requirements for personnel training and competency assessment. The execution of the training plan significantly improved staff professional skills and professional ethics, further strengthening the laboratory's testing capabilities.

Conclusions: Implementing personnel training and competency assessment in laboratory departments in accordance with ISO 15189, combined with a scientifically designed training program, effectively enhances staff expertise and laboratory testing performance. This approach provides critical insights for laboratory quality management and international accreditation.
